Hi all!

Has anyone who applied in R1 completed the Yale SOM interview yet? Just wanted to understand if they still follow the practice of giving a quote for you to consider, and if we have to come up with a quote as well...

Thanks a lot in advance :)

Did you receive a ding?? If not there is no reason to feel down

yale sends invites upuntill 2 weeks before decision day, can figure out why you are saying it’s a ding

Maybe the essays will convince otherwise, but i’m fairly concerned I didn’t warrant an interview at high level

makes me think may be influenced somewhat by company brand name, i work for the worlds third biggest company in my industry, but i doubt many at Yale will have heard of it?

that’s true, i just assumed the slightly lower GMAT’s are backed by either big names, e.g. GS, JP Morg, McK or BCG

but who knows, but I think he’s saying the truth when he says they don’t review videos/essays for first lot, so some stat must be carrying the initial lot interviews?
